OMB Watch

OMB Watch "was formed in 1983 to lift the veil of secrecy shrouding the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which oversees regulation, the budget, information collection and dissemination, proposed legislation, testimony by agencies, and much more. "

OMB Watch is lead by Executive Director Gary Bass, who has been named one of the top 50 most influential people in the nonprofit community by the NonProfit Times.
